Please Get On GeForce Now

I really want to play this game, but it runs like a slide show on my potato.

On the same potato, I play other cutting edge new games via the Nvidia's Geforce Now cloud service.

As far as I know there is no down side to getting added there, they seem to really want game producers to allow their games to be listed and if your game is on Steam, that's half the battle in setting things up.

Does Zero-K have some issue with cloud gaming? It seems a no brainer if you want to expand the player base.

I would imagine that its a fairly limited scenario, not really something for the devs to work on so they can expand the playerbase.

Like shaman said, this really isn't just "Lol just work on it," its a bit more "lets jury rig this decade old game engine to work in an environment that was made for more modern game engines."

Though it is fair to say that you can stream the game over steam to other pc's/systems in the house, so perhaps it wouldn't be that hard, the main problem might be more with nvidia than zero-k at that point however. (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/discover/255981/request-a-new-game/) Even if this is 4 years old, they seem to be more orientated towards a more curated library, so the zero-k devs will likely not have a say in the matter.

Hootmon_Y_Knot I doubt there is any harm in you asking. It seems like a lot of work, but perhaps it reuses a lot of the steam cloud work that we've already done.

How potatoey is that old computer, anyway?

I find that something as old as an i7-960 and GeForce 1030 work pretty well all the way to 32 players. Some IGP's are in the performance bracket of that card nowadays.

Its off topic a bit, but I have the feeling that performance scales pretty well with larger cache size (L3 basically).
